Happy New Year,
I am unable to attend the hearing for this project, but I would like to express my deep concern. A four-
story building is a significant size for downtown San Luis Obispo, especially in that location where several
historic houses remain. Not only would that size significantly diminish the character and obstruct views
in that area, but it would also create additional traffic burdens. The Marsh Street off-ramp has already
exceeded it's original design capacity resulting in backups and difficulty moving across lanes to turn right
onto Higuera. This project would create a far more significant traffic snarl and a lengthy back up of cars.
Please consider limiting the size of this building to a more location appropriate 2-3 stories.
Best regards,
Bambi Banys
